I want to make a jacket and all my toile fabrics are too thin. I'd rather not buy a fabric that's more expensive than this, so I am giving it a go!<br /><br />Sarah's advice is good, I'll need to keep in mind to transfer any adjustments and changes to the original pattern and not rely on the fleece. It sounds like a material that's useful on a temporary basis.Gisellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109646912314640079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862826007041372149.post-10317248487194973622016-06-06T08:10:27.505-07:002016-06-06T08:10:27.505-07:00I have been using garden fleece a lot for tracing ...I have been using garden fleece a lot for tracing patterns, muslin making, experimenting etc like you, but it is no good if you are planning to use the pattern again as it balls up into a rag and you can't iron it to flatten it out again. So I've invested in a roll of tracing paper as used by graphic artists and architects. I'm very pleased as it is easy to see through, takes a pen mark well, and is really robust.
